What to wear with a skirt?

Skirts are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can have in your closet. You can have flirty short skirts, graceful maxi skirts, elegant pencil skirts, or classic denim skirts to create varied and diverse outfits. Here are a few styling ideas of what to wear with a skirt.

Wear a Sweater With Layered Necklaces

Nothing beats a spring or fall look than pairing a sweater with a skirt. You can tuck a slim-fitting cashmere sweater into a long wool skirt for a classic look. Spice up the outfit with stacked necklaces around your neck, and finish the outfit with a wide belt and tall, high-heeled boots. You can create a polished look wearing a high-waisted skirt with a short cardigan sweater finished with a thick gold link necklace.

Go Seamless With a Matching Set

Wearing a matching top with your skirt makes for an easy-to-put-together outfit in no time. If you’re looking for a racy matching set, wear a short skirt with a matching cropped top, an off-the-shoulder blouse, or a spicy bandeau-style, short-sleeved sweater. When you want the appearance of wearing a dress, yet still want separate pieces, a matching set is ideal.

Accentuate Your Waist With Belts or Scarves

Even if you have a simple skirt with a plain top, you can elevate the combination with accessories. Wearing leather or fabric belts helps blend the top and skirt together. You can also tie a scarf around your waist and let the ends flow to the side of the skirt to create a free-spirited look. Create a fun, casual appearance by tying the ends of a shirt together that falls just above the waistband of the skirt to show off a touch of midriff.

Pair a Racerback Tank Top With a Maxi Skirt

You can include skirts for women in your summer music festival wardrobe. Going to music festivals is a fun way to express your bohemian spirit, and wearing a maxi skirt is ideal for these events. You can stay cool while dancing to your favorite band wearing a midriff-baring racerback tank top with your long skirt. Choose vibrant, tribal patterns for your skirt, and finish this darling outfit with long beaded earrings, multiple necklaces, and bracelets stacked on your wrist.

Go Western With a Short Skirt and Cowgirl Boots

Create an adorable look wearing a short skirt made from denim or gingham and top the skirt with a white shirt with pearl snaps. For a more flirty look, wear an off-the-shoulder blouse with short puffy sleeves. To complete this Western-inspired ensemble, wear cowgirl boots with vibrant-colored stitching or etching, turquoise earrings and necklace, and a leather belt with a silver belt buckle. 

It’s easy to get creative when deciding what to wear with a skirt. Whether your fashion style leans toward formal or edgy, pairing the right tops, shoes, and accessories can make you feel confident. When looking for skirts to add to your collection, choose ones made with high-quality materials, and when you can, buy skirts made from sustainable fabric and materials.
